LAMUT, Ifugao, Jan. 29 (PIA) -- The Undersecretary (USEC) for Legal and Legislative Affairs of the Department of Education (DEPED) recently visited this province to monitor ongoing school building projects and the implementation of the Philippines' Response to Indigenous People and Muslim Education (PRIME) program, of which Ifugao is a beneficiary.
USEC Alberto Muyot arrived here morning of January 25 and had a meeting with the local government unit officials, Schools Division Superintendent Estela Carino and teachers. He then inspected the repair of the Payawan Elemetary School which was damaged by Typhoons Pedring and Quiel and funded under the Quick Response Fund (QRF) of the national government.
He proceeded to Kiangan to monitor the ongoing construction of the Kiangan National High School financed under the regular fund of the DepEd, then to the towns of Hingyon and Banaue to inspect the repairs of the Hingyon National High School Annex and the Gohang Elementary School, respectively. Both were destroyed by the past typhoons and funded under the QRF.
Muyot also met with division supervisors to discuss the status of the PRIME program in Ifugao. Supervisor Jackie Lunag demonstrated some of the indigenous cultural practices and traditions that can be incorporated as part of the school curriculum in the province.
According to Muyot, he wanted to observe the status of programs and projects of the DepEd in Ifugao especially the PRIME to see how the national government can further help to accelerate the educational development in the province.
The PRIME program is aimed at improving quality of and equity in basic education outcomes for disadvantaged Indigenous Peoples' (IP) and Muslim communities and will allow the DepEd to focus on the specific supply side needs of IP and Muslim communities including the development of learning materials, training of teachers and adaptations to curriculum.
It is intended to provide targeted communities with additional resources through the provision of grants to respond to demand for services and as a response to addressing gaps identified in the basic education sector like reducing drop-out rates, improve the participation rates, increase completion rates and National Achievement Test (NAT) levels.

Q: golang - Replacing string characters by numbers golang I'm trying to run this piece of code to replace a character of a string by a random number:
//Get the position between 0 and the length of the string-1  to insert a random number
    position := rand.Intn(count - 1)
    strings.Replace(RandomString,)

    fmt.Println("Going to change the position number: ", position)
    //Insert a random number between [0-9] in the position
    RandomString = RandomString[:position] + string(rand.Intn(9)) + RandomString[position+1:]

When this is executed, the output is:
I was going to generate..  ljFsrPaUvmxZFFw
Going to change the position number:  2
Random string:  lsrPaUvmxZFFw

Could anyone help me about inserting that number inside the desired string position? I didn't find any duplicate case of this.
Thanks in advance.

A: There are no printable characters in the range [0, 9). If you want an ascii value, start at 48 ('0'). You probably want to include 9 too, so use rand.Intn(10)
string('0' + rand.Intn(10))

Simpson cites FA Cup loss as a learning experience
Robbie Simpson
Published: 18:15 Saturday 10 November 2018
Dons' failure to react to a resurgent Grimsby Town side at Blundell Park on Saturday resulted in a 3-1 defeat and FA Cup knockout, according Robbie Simpson.
Despite leading at the break, and being in relative control of the game, Dons threw away their advantage just five minutes after the restart when Elliot Embleton scored a wonderful strike from the edge of the penalty area. Goals from Wes Thomas and Charles Vernam followed as Grimsby ran out comfortable winners in the end.
While the saving grace is that Dons do not lose any ground in League 2, Simspon said it is of little consolation to the players, who needed to do better when they fell behind.
"We weren't thinking about the league today, we wanted to progress in the FA Cup," said the striker. "We're really disappointed with the result, obviously, and with the performance in the second half.
"It's the first time we've gone behind and haven't responded and stayed strong. To concede another goal, and another without getting control of the game, we're really disappointed and we have to learn from it.
"I thought we were good in the first half, with the wind and slightly downhill. Going in at half time, we were in a good position, which makes the second half even more disappointing. We've been in windy conditions and done really well, like last week, but that goal lifted the atmosphere.
"Credit to Grimsby, they played the conditions and not like a team at the wrong end of League 2. We're still getting to know each other. Although it's disappointing, we have to take this loss as a positive, so when it happens again, we are better equipped to deal with it."
Simpson said while manager Paul Tisdale was not one for reading the team the riot act, he said the players know they cannot afford to let their performances slip so significantly, irrespective of the opposition.
He said: "Tis is very poignant in his messages. When we conceded the third, you don't see him ranting and raving, throwing his arms about on the sidelines. We lost our discipline and shape in the second half. We cannot do that. Whether it's against Grimsby or Manchester United, we can't let that happen no matter what the scoreline, but especially not when we go behind."


For those who have more critical things to do than refresh our Blog Page just to see different header images, I have had a request to add a gallery page. After all time is better spent looking at Muskoka cottages for sale.
Dogs: stick for a pillow?!
As we go about looking at Muskoka cottages for sale for our buyers, and listing cottages for sellers, we get some great comments about our images, design and videos. They are fun to share and with Muskoka as our backdrop, it's pretty easy to look good.
Some are images taken throughout a lifetime of cottaging here in Muskoka. I am told I started at two weeks old, and at some point later the first sentence I put together was an excited and agitated "boy go boat!!!" when others were headed out while I was to be left in the care of my Grandmother.
Other pictures are taken of friends and clients' cottage activities and, as mentioned above, as we go about searching for Muskoka cottages for sale (actually and potentially for sale), that fit both our ideals for value and the various specifics of our current group of buyers.
There are quite a few images, more or less suitable to headline the blog, and we have lots more in the archive. One that I had mostly forgotten was a photo of the ritual where I had convinced tried to convince our kids, that kissing fish you caught and were releasing was good luck. Somehow it would encourage the released fish to spread fairly positive communication about the entire event. I took the picture when I noticed with delight, that our daughter Lenore carried on the same tradition with her cousin Jordan. This turns out perhaps, to be something of an accepted practice of anglers around the globe. However, a Wikipedia search for kissing a fish, only brings up Kissing Gouramis .

The Age of Elegance – Saturday August 9, 2014 from 10 am to 4 pm.
Old photographs of life in Muskoka are irresistible. Whether you see them at the Muskoka Boat and Heritage Centre in Gravenhurst or are lucky enough to have peaked into to a friend's old family album, the images take you back to a dreamy time – graceful old cottages, beautiful mahogany launches, sporty little gentlemen's racers, and men and women dressed in their finery. What was it like to live in the "Age of Elegance"?
A few of the cottages in those photos have been maintained and can be seen today on parts of the Muskoka Lakes. Not so visible are many wooden boats, several approaching their centennial, hidden away in boathouses around the lakes. Mostly they were built right here in Muskoka for Muskoka cottagers. They may have been bought and sold, but they stayed in Muskoka accumulating history as integral parts of summer life for the generations that interacted with them.
The MLA Antique Boat Show is a bi-annual event held in Port Carling and sponsored by the Muskoka Lakes Association. It was started in 1971 by the late Bob Purves to honour boats that have been built in Muskoka or have spent most of their life in Muskoka Waters.
Come out and enjoy a day with these fine craft and their owners along with displays including vintage outboard motors, seafleas and antique Buicks from the 1920's. One of our presenting sponsors will also be bringing a brand new Bugatti Vitesse that will be on display for all to see. It's not very often a million dollar car comes to Muskoka!
The Show is on Saturday August 9 and runs from 10 AM until 4 PM at the Port Carling locks. Admission is free.
This event would not be possible without our presenting sponsors; Grand Touring Automobiles, Northfield Capital, Purves Redmond Insurance Brokers and Walker's Point Marina.
This Friday, the Muskoka Lakes Association will hold its AGM in Port Carling. Details below and here.
The 121st Muskoka Lakes Association Annual General Meeting will be held on July 25th at the Port Carling Community Centre. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m.
Come and enjoy some refreshments and snacks and have to opportunity to meet other members. You'll hear about new MLA programs and updates on activities we've undertaken on your behalf. You'll also meet incoming President Michael Hart and hear about his ideas for the coming years.
We hope you'll come out and enjoy an evening with your fellow MLA members.
Please reserve your space by emailing info@mla.on.ca or calling 705-765-5723.
The Ministry of Natural Resources – Parry Sound District is advising area residents that a Flood Warning remains in effect.
Residents within the Parry Sound-Muskoka area are advised that some additional or prolonged flooding will occur within known flood-prone areas of many rivers and lakes. Recent warm air temperatures and rainfall has now accelerated the melting rate of the remaining snow pack with an increased runoff into local waterbodies. High water levels or flooding will occur over the next 24-48 hours within Lake Muskoka and the Moon River as part of the lower Muskoka River sub-watershed.
Residents are advised to keep a close watch on conditions, regularly check for updated messages and exercise caution around rivers and lakes as high water levels and flows continue. There is the potential for higher water levels and flows than what is currently being experienced.Residents may wish to take action to protect property in flood-prone or vulnerable areas. MNR is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. Further updates to this Flood Warning will be issued as appropriate.
The current weather forecast through to Saturday April 26th is for daytime temperatures in the range of 5-10 degrees Celsius with near freezing nighttime temperatures. Today's forecast is calling for a range of 3-30mm of rainfall Friday through Saturday.
A significant amount of the remaining snowpack has melted in recent days due to warm air temperature and rainfall, increasing the runoff into local river systems. A significant amount of snow still remains within local watersheds at higher elevation areas including the western slopes of Algonquin Park; the headwaters of some local river systems. Forecasted temperatures and rainfall will continue to melt the remaining snow pack with continued runoff into local river systems and lakes.
WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT – WATER SAFETY: indicates that high flows, melting ice or other factors could be dangerous for such users as boaters, anglers and swimmers but flooding is not expected.
** FLOOD WARNING: flooding is imminent or occurring within specific watercourses and municipalities.
In case you missed it, the following was Issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources on Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 1:00 p.m.
The Ministry of Natural Resources -Click here to enter text. Parry Sound District is advising residents within flood-prone locations that a Flood Warning is in effect as flooding is imminent. Residents affected by flooding in past years are advised to take immediate action to secure or protect property in advance of river flows and lake levels rising to flood levels.
Those residents that have evacuated their homes in past years due to flooding may wish to make similar preparations at this time as rising water levels will hinder, limit or prevent the ability to evacuate as driveways and roads in lower-lying locations become impassible.
All residents in close proximity to local rivers are advised to keep a close watch on conditions, regularly check for updated messages and exercise caution as river flows and levels rise.
MNR continues to monitor weather conditions and flows and water levels. Further updates to this Flood Warning will be issued as conditions change.
The current forecast is calling for 45mm or more precipitation beginning the evening of Saturday April 12th through Monday April 14th. The forecast through to next Monday is for daytime high temperatures up to 16 degrees Celsius with near freezing nighttime temperatures.
The water content within the existing snow pack throughout local watersheds continues to be greater than the normal or historical average for early April. Forecasted temperatures and rainfall will significantly accelerate the melt of the snow pack Saturday through Monday. It is expected that the melting of the snow pack and rainfall amounts will significantly increase the amount of runoff into local rivers and lakes.
In Muskoka, the environment is the economy. For cottagers, protecting the Muskoka watershed, protects your investment.

We are very fortunate to have such a passionate network of people supporting our mission to champion watershed health in Muskoka and its associated watersheds.
Dr. Watmough explains implications of calcium losses on lake ecosystems.
As mentioned last month in this cottageinmuskoka blog entry and this news story from the Huntsville Forester (Cottage Country Now), the decline of calcium in our lakes can affect our lakes recovery from acid rain as well as zooplankton in our lakes, which are are very sensitive to declining calcium levels.
From the Muskoka Watershed Council Lecture Series I have just finished editing and have just posted this video on the Muskoka Watershed Council's YouTube page.
Why should we care about calcium in the environment?
How are calcium levels in lakes, vegetation and soils changing?
What is causing these changes?
What will be the impact of timber harvesting on lake calcium levels?
What are the critical uncertainties?
Declining calcium slows the recovery of acidic lakes.
Even if you aren't paddling in the event, it's an … ahem… Great Experience to watch.
This Saturday, at Annie Williams Park in Bracebridge, come out and see why The Great Muskoka Paddling Experience has become an epic one in Ontario paddling and beyond.
– Muskoka Magazine: story (scroll down a page).
Mentioned in a number of Muskoka Watershed Council lectures over the past few years, calcium decline in Muskoka Lakes and in particular, the consequences of timber harvesting on lake calcium levels have been hinted at as a potential direct cause of declining health of our lakes in Muskoka. Here's a past primer news story from the Huntsville Forester (Cottage Country News).
This week, we have an opportunity to discover more.
Dr. Shaun Watmough, an Associate Professor in the Environmental Resource Science Program at Trent University in Peterborough will present.
Decades of acid deposition have depleted soil calcium reserves and, when combined with timber harvesting, predicted losses of calcium from soil are considerable and may ultimately threaten long-term forest health and productivity and lead to negative impacts on lakes.
In this talk, Dr. Watmough will provide an overview of our current understanding of calcium biogeochemistry and describe the reasons for the widespread decline in calcium levels in lakes and the implications of calcium losses on soil fertility and forest health in addition to impacts on lake ecosystems.
With an emphasis on south central Ontario, Dr. Watmough will document a nutrient budget for a selection harvesting regime in central Ontario hardwood forests. This work is then extrapolated to regional harvesting activities and management issues are discussed.
The link for this lecture and registration is here.
"I think this was my lucky day when I called into the ... office looking for a recreational property in cottage country! I was fortunate to talk with Catharine who was a wonderful agent for me. She has a perfect blend of enthusiasm and wisdom, while never being over-bearing or pushy. She was informative during the search but more importantly she was also helpful after the sale closed.
We're really looking forward to summer at the new cottage and will definitely have Catharine and Steve over for a drink to celebrate our dreams."

Q&A with SJU alumna Amanda Rawson
Amanda Rawson last played for St. John's basketball in 2002. As a senior, she played in 27 games, scoring 130 points and placing third on the team with 92 rebounds.
Though she has been gone for five years, Rawson is still involved in college athletics. She now works as a recruiting coach for the National Collegiate Scouting Association, pairing qualified student-athletes with coaches that match their demeanor. Guiding them through the process of enrolling at a school, Rawson is giving the students an opportunity that was not available to her as a student-athlete.
Q: How would you describe your responsibilities toward student-athletes?
A: I coach them and guide them through the whole process to find the right school and know the right options.
Q: What does that entail?
A: We help them figure out what's right for them geographically, their right major, and a school that is going to lead them in the right direction.
Q: What are your lasting memories from your St. John's career?
A: I was really lucky to have a great experience. My teammates were awesome, I still talk to them. I'm fortunate enough to still talk to the coach and [my] teammates.
Q: What was your own experience of enrolling like?
A: I did not have any help; the process was very overwhelming. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know any of the rules. My parents helped me but they didn't know the rules. I don't have any regrets [though] because I had a great experience.
Q: How did you decide to work for the NCSA?
A: I found their company on the Web site and I replied to them. I wasn't sure about them. I knew what it was like not to have help. There's so much out there to learn. Anything that we can do to help them is great so they can make the right decision.

Although Joseph Mallord William Turner learned much about light, atmosphere, and water reflections from the likes of Claude Lorrain and other Dutch marine painters, he pushed the envelope by expanding and egrandising the role of light, color, and color key in painting.
One of his primary concerns was the overall romantic effects attained through light and color. Turner's later works foreshadows the Impressionists that followed him.

Oscar nominations 2023: The biggest snubs and surprises
Performances by Tom Cruise and Danielle Deadwyler were the big misses in the nominations for the 95th Academy Awards
Tom Beasley
·Contributor
The Oscar nominations for 2023 have their fair share of surprises and snubs among them. (Paramount/Universal/Disney/Mubi)
It's Oscar nominations day. We now know which movies will be competing for golden statuettes at the 95th Academy Awards in March. It's a good day for fans of German war movies and the chaos of the multiverse, but bad news for anyone hoping to see Tom Cruise with an Oscar in his hand.
It was the Daniels' madcap multiversal drama Everything Everywhere All at Once which emerged as the big winner, topping the nomination charts with 11 — including nods in four of the Big Five categories.
Read more: Here are those Oscar nominations in full
Black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and Netflix war drama All Quiet on the Western Front — fresh from its surprise haul at the Baftas — also had a good day, securing nine nominations each. There were also big nomination counts for rock n roll biopic Elvis (eight), Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical The Fabelmans (seven) and box office juggernaut Top Gun: Maverick (six).
Read more: Everything we know about the 2023 Oscars
But let's take a look at the surprise winners and the shocking snubs as we pick over the 2023 Oscar nominations in detail...
SNUB: Cruise misses out despite Top Gun: Maverick love
It was a mixed bag of a day for Top Gun: Maverick at the Oscar nominations. On the one hand, the film secured a Best Picture nod and managed a surprise Best Original Screenplay slot too, bolstering its chances at the big prize. However, one of the major awards the movie was hoping to compete for fell by the wayside when Cruise was missed out of the Best Actor shortlist. He'll have to wait a bit longer for that first Oscar.
But, with four of the five Best Actor names more or less sewn up, it was interesting to see who got that final slot ahead of Cruise.
SURPRISE: Riseborough and Mescal make leading actor lists

That fifth Best Actor slot was considered very much up for grabs going into today, but it was the low-budget British drama Aftersun that secured it on behalf of leading man Paul Mescal. Mostly unknown until starring in lockdown telly hit Normal People, Mescal delivers an outstanding performance as a young father on a holiday with his daughter in the debut feature from Charlotte Wells. It's worthy recognition for a great film and the terrific actor at its heart.
Over in Best Actress, something even weirder happened. After an unorthodox grassroots campaign largely propelled by famous people's social media accounts, Andrea Riseborough has been nominated for her performance as a Texan alcoholic in To Leslie. The film sank without a trace when it was released but, thanks to support from the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Edward Norton and fellow nominee Cate Blanchett, Riseborough has made it all the way to the shortlist.

With the surprise inclusion of both Riseborough and Michelle Williams for The Fabelmans, the Best Actress category became something of a minefield for high-profile snubs. One of the big contenders for most of this awards season has been Danielle Deadwyler, who delivers an intense and thoughtful performance as Mamie Till-Mobley — mother of lynched teenager Emmett Till — in the terrific historical drama Till.
Deadwyler's omission is one of the biggest snubs of the day and, put alongside Viola Davis missing out for her role in The Woman King, it has provoked a worrying absence of Black women in the category. The performances were certainly there this year; they just weren't nominated.
SURPRISE: Stephanie Hsu lands Supporting Actress slot

One of the great enigmas of this awards season has been the decision by almost every major awards body to nominate Jamie Lee Curtis for her supporting role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, while avoiding Stephanie Hsu. The young star's performance as the daughter of Michelle Yeoh's character is challenging, emotionally potent and a tonne of fun.
Thankfully, the Oscars chose to buck this trend by nominating both Hsu and Curtis in the Best Supporting Actress category, alongside frontrunner Angela Bassett for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Kerry Condon for The Banshees of Inisherin and Hong Chau for The Whale.
SNUB: Avatar all but out of the race after key nomination misses
Blockbusters always have a bit of a tricky time at the Oscars, but it was thought that James Cameron's Avatar sequel — which recently passed $2bn (£1.6bn) at the global box office — could be an outlier. The first movie was pipped by The Hurt Locker at the 2010 ceremony, but many believed that the sequel could receive the acclaim not given to its predecessor.
The Way of Water is theoretically in the race, winning a Best Picture nod alongside a raft of technical recognition. However, James Cameron was snubbed for Best Director, the screenplay went unrecognised and it failed to secure a single acting nod.
It also failed to get a nomination for Best Editing, which has historically been a Best Picture prerequisite. In the last 40 years of Oscar ceremonies, only two movies have won Best Picture without a nomination for editing. Fortunately for Avatar, one of those was last year's history-making win for CODA, so maybe the tide has turned.
SURPRISE: Triangle of Sadness lands Picture and Director nods
Ruben Östlund's satirical comedy Triangle of Sadness looked like a huge awards contender when it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year. It has somewhat fallen out of the race in months and, when Dolly De Leon did not appear in Best Supporting Actress today, it looked as if its awards season might be over.
However, the movie made it on to the Best Picture shortlist and Östlund was nominated for his original screenplay. The biggest shock, however, was to see Östlund land one of the five coveted Best Director slots ahead of the likes of Cameron. Could this be a dark horse contender on the night?
SNUB: The Woman King and She Said suffer total shut-outs

This year's Oscar nominations didn't yield much success for major, female-led movies. Two of the biggest casualties of this were historical epic The Woman King and journalism drama She Said, which both missed out entirely. The Woman King was hotly tipped to secure a Best Actress prize for Viola Davis, while She Said could easily have provided acting nods to both Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan.
However, both films left empty-handed. Two hugely worthy stories — the tale of an all-female military unit in West Africa and the journalists who brought down Harvey Weinstein — have gone unrewarded, which is a real shame.
SURPRISE: Henry and Hirsch edge out Eddie Redmayne

A pair of unpredictable supporting categories this year — albeit with clear frontrunners in Angela Bassett and Ke Huy Quan — created some surprises. Eddie Redmayne has been a constant presence in this year's race thanks to his performance as the mass murderer Charles Cullen in Netflix true crime drama The Good Nurse. However, he was entirely ignored when it came to Oscar nominations.
Instead, the Best Supporting Actor category found room for Brian Tyree Henry's work alongside Jennifer Lawrence in low-key drama Causeway and Judd Hirsch's brief but memorable appearance in The Fabelmans. The latter is a particularly welcome inclusion, given the burst of energy the star provides when he shows up in the film.
SNUB: Decision to Leave fails to make International Feature list

The award for Best International Feature was packed with surprises this year, giving support to Irish drama The Quiet Girl against all odds. However, the Academy left out a real big hitter in the shape of South Korea's selection — Park Chan-wook's deliciously seductive crime tale Decision to Leave.
The tale of a detective falling for a murder suspect is beautifully told, but won't have a presence at the Oscars. Presumably, this leaves the way clear for All Quiet on the Western Front to get the win.
SURPRISE: Women Talking makes it into Best Picture
Sarah Polley's Women Talking was expected to be a major awards season player, focusing on a group of women who meet to discuss what to do about sexual assaults among their Mennonite community. However, it has mostly been squeezed out entirely.
It was a surprise then to see the film find a spot on the Best Picture shortlist, ousting otherwise recognised movies like The Whale and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Polley was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Indiana's senators split over Sessions' role in Russia investigation
While Sen. Todd Young said Thursday there aren't enough facts to say whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions should recuse himself from the federal investigation of Russia's attempts to influence the presidential election, Sen. Joe Donnelly said Sessions should step aside.

Joe Donnelly said Sessions should step aside. Check out this story on IndyStar.com: http://indy.st/2mxRBHK

WASHINGTON — Indiana Sen. Todd Young didn't think Attorney General Jeff Sessions needed to recuse himself from any investigation of the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia, but said Thursday he respects Sessions' decision to let someone else take his role.
The Indiana Republican had not been among the congressional Republicans who called on Sessions to step aside after revelations that Sessions met with the Russian ambassador to the United States while advising the Trump campaign but did not disclose those meetings during his confirmation hearing.
While Young said in a radio interview Thursday morning that "lying to Congress is not appropriate," he also said it's not yet clear whether Sessions lied or did anything else improper.
"We are in the very early stages of learning what we can," he told Chicago-based WIND-AM. "If I learn facts in the very near term or weeks into this that suggest, at some level of specificity, inappropriate behavior occurred, or appears to have occurred, then, yes, we should not have the attorney general overseeing his own investigation."
Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly, a Democrat, said Thursday Russia's interference and influence on key leaders before and after last year's election needs a thorough investigation and it's clear Sessions "is not able to conduct such an investigation credibly."
"He should recuse himself immediately and explain what he discussed with Russian Ambassador (Sergey) Kislyak in their meetings," Donnelly said in a statement.
Sessions announced later in the afternoon he was recusing himself from any existing or future investigation involving the presidential campaign. He said his recusal should not be seen as an admission that there is any investigation taking place.
He has denied discussing campaign-related matters when he encountered Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in July during an event at the Republican National Convention and later during a September meeting in his Senate office in Washington, Justice officials confirmed.
At the time of those meetings, the FBI was deeply engaged in an investigation into Russia's intervention in the American election process and Sessions was serving as chairman of the National Security Advisory Committee.
During his confirmation hearing to become President Donald Trump's top law enforcement official, Sessions said he had no contact with Russian officials and did not know anything about reported contacts between Trump's campaign advisers and allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I'm not aware of any of those activities," Sessions told the Senate Judiciary Committee during his January confirmation hearing. "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I did not have communications with the Russians."
One man, Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, has been a constant in the controversy between the Trump administration and Russia. USA TODAY NETWORK
Sessions said Thursday his response was "honest and correct as I understood it at the time," and he had not thought of himself during those meetings as acting as a Trump surrogate.
"In retrospect, I should have slowed down and said, 'But I did meet one Russian official a couple of times, and that would be the ambassador,' " he said.
Sessions said his conversation with Kislyak included a discussion of terrorism and the Ukraine, and he doesn't recall "any specific political discussions."
Sessions spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores has said there was "absolutely nothing misleading about his answer because the then-senator took those meetings in his capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The Washington Post reported Thursday that Sessions was the only one of the 26 committee members who met with Kislyak last year.
Donnelly, who sits on the Armed Services Committee, confirmed he has not met with Kislyak.
Young, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who previously served on the House Armed Services Committee, called it "entirely natural and appropriate for a high-level U.S. senator on the Senate Armed Services Committee to be visiting with all manner of government officials."
"Was anything improper done here or any lies told? It's not clear at all that that was the case," Young said. "I do think that … it sounds as though our now attorney general was referring to his capacity as a surrogate for the Trump campaign when asked about interaction with the Russians."
Young also said he doesn't want to downplay the seriousness of the federal government's ongoing investigation of Russia's involvement in last year's presidential campaign.
"Russia has national interests which are, to put it charitably, misaligned with our own. They're not our friends," Young said. "And we, of course, don't want our high-level government officials to have a history of interacting in a way that's inappropriate."
The Republicans who called for Sessions to recuse himself include Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Nevada Sen. Dean Heller and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz of Utah.
AG Sessions should clarify his testimony and recuse himself
— Jason Chaffetz (@jasoninthehouse) March 2, 2017
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California said in an appearance on MSNBC that the attorney general should recuse himself in order to maintain "the trust of the American people." But later Thursday morning, he appeared on "Fox & Friends" to walk back his comments. "I'm not calling on him to recuse himself," McCarthy said. He explained that he was merely repeating Sessions' position that the attorney general should recuse himself if and when that becomes appropriate.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said Sessions did not need to recuse himself unless he is the subject of the investigation. "If he's not, I don't see any reason or purpose to doing this," the Wisconsin Republican said Thursday.
Some Democrats called on Sessions to resign from office, while others were asking only that he recuse himself from any investigation involving Russia and Trump.
Rep. Andre Carson, the Indianapolis Democrat who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, said it was critical that Sessions recuse himself.
"The Department of Justice will play a central part of this investigation, but unfortunately failure to disclose these contacts make it impossible for intelligence committees to trust that Jeff Sessions can provide reliable support," Carson said in a statement. "This is not a simple oversight or minor infraction."
In December, Donnelly called for a bipartisan special Senate committee to investigate Russia's hacking and interference in the 2016 elections.
Young has said the investigations being conducted by various House and Senate committees are sufficient.

Six new palladium complexes based on allyl and alkenolate ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. Combination of delocalized allylic sp2-hybridized carbon centers and a strongly binding NˆO chelating unit (e.g., 3,3,3-trifluoro(pyridin-2-yl)propen-2-ol) offered a promising combination of high volatility and thermal lability not commonly observed in noble metal precursors. Application of the new Pd compounds in thermal metal–organic and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition demonstrated their clean and efficient decomposition pathways, which in conjunction with their intriguing air stability made them efficient precursors for Pd films and clusters. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of the palladium compounds on biomorphic carbon used as a porous substrate with high surface area and interconnected channels delivered recyclable carbon-supported Pd catalysts (Pd@BioC), which showed excellent selectivity, stability, and recyclability in CC coupling reactions.

Blogads and TV
Friday, September 16th, 2005
In this morning's MediaPost, Shankar Gupta does a great round up of the surge in TV blogads.
Lauren Prestileo, the national publicist for PBS's "American Experience" series–which has featured biographies of RFK, Castro, and Kinsey–said BlogAds offered a cheap way to target ads to politically-minded consumers for public broadcasting.
For example, BlogAds displayed 12 million impressions for the PBS Boston affiliate's documentary about Kinsey, which aired in February. "That's amazing exposure right there," she said. "To get 12 million impressions with print would be very, very expensive, and it would be a much less targeted audience."
"We don't have a ton of resources, obviously," she added. "There aren't a lot of places where you can spend $1,500–or up to $5,000–and get that much exposure and to such a targeted audience. Online advertising in some regards can be prohibitively expensive, at least when you're dealing with public programming and non-profits." …
Richard Turner, the senior vice president of interactive marketing at TBS, said that the high return on investment, and the ability to reach the coveted "influencers," is what attracted Turner to the proposition of advertising on blogs. "They tend to be an efficient media buy," he said. "They are effective at reaching opinion leaders, or at least opinionated people." TBS generally combined promotion on blogs with rich media ads and search marketing, Turner said.
Jessica Smith, a publicist for interactive media at PBS' "Frontline/World," agreed that the appeal of blog advertising for her show was the audience that it allowed her to target–people who already show an enthusiasm for the type of program she was hawking. "Blog readers are the kind of people who are interested in current events and news, but they're also interested in people," she said. "That's what we do with Frontline/World–it's personal stories from around the world."
Another datapoint in this trend is AVP, whose initial trickle of ads turned into a gusher as the volleyball season progressed.

We've been making this fabulous recipe for a while now, and every time, I complain about the recipe format. So I'm rewriting it here mostly for my own benefit, really, but if you're looking for an excellent vegan brownie, look no further.
Add wet mixture to dry and stir well.
Spread the batter in the pan and then bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, until a tester comes out with moist crumbs, not liquid. Cool completely before slicing.
Remember when I wrote last week about being so inspired by recipes in magazines? It happened again, all because of the glorious picture I've posted above. The recipe, once you look at it closely, is nothing fancy or complicated at all. Polenta, made a little richer with milk rather than all water. Mushrooms, both fresh and dried, sautéed with an extra hit of butter, soy sauce, and cream — just a tablespoon of each, but that makes all the difference between a meager sauté and something a bit more special to cook for your family.
Unless, of course, your family includes people who cry at the sight of sautéed mushrooms, don't like anything mushy, and shy away from salt.
My first step was biding my time, waiting until the mushroom-loathing eight-year-old was out (at a basketball game with his dad and grandfather, who would have loved the dinner, but tough; I had a recipe to try and I was getting impatient). Step two was selling the no-mush twelve-year-old on the idea of broadening his palate to consider new textures, not just the new flavors I am usually peddling. As for the salt, to which my mother is acutely sensitive; well, I hoped the single tablespoon of soy sauce wouldn't be too much, but it concentrates so much as it cooks down, I needed to thin the sauce with extra mushroom-soaking water. It's a little less decadent that way, but she liked it. The twelve-year-old liked it. And I, sitting at the table with them, talking and eating, I didn't really care what it tasted like…but I liked it, too.
I have over a hundred cookbooks, but there's something so enticing about a recipe in a magazine. It's beautifully photographed. It's alone — not buried in a book full of other recipes — and yet often accompanied by recipes to make a whole meal. And did I mention the beautiful photography?
I tear recipes out of magazines all the time. I don't even (currently) subscribe to any food magazines, but they come in the New York Times magazine section and other less likely sources. They accumulate on a particular spot on the kitchen counter until I gather them up and rest them above the cookbooks on the kitchen shelf (I don't put them into my binder of torn-and-saved recipes until I have tested them.) When I grab a cookbook off the shelf, the loose recipes often tumble off the shelf, floating down to the floor like so many onion skins. Periodically, I sort through them and wonder what seemed so special about pasta with walnut-parsley pesto, anyway? (Probably the photograph).
But recently I went from tearing to testing very quickly, and have now made Mark Bittman's easy tortilla recipe so many times, I know it by heart. We keep a lump of dough in the breadbox, and Eli smooshes some out every morning and makes himself a fresh tortilla for breakfast.
It's not revolutionary, eating tortillas, but making them by hand is, for us. It turns an everyday element of our weekly dinner routine into something a little more special. It makes us plan ahead a bit (the tortilla dough takes all of five minutes to bring together, but is best if it rests half an hour or so before cooking), and makes us slow down a bit as we roll (or smoosh) and cook. It gets the kids in the kitchen and gives the adults time for a leisurely cocktail before dinner. Win, win, win.
My favorite way to eat them is as I've shown above, with some sautéed chard and roasted sweet potatoes, a dollop of guacamole, and a drizzle of salsa.
Last year it was Baked Alaska, while the year before it was a more tropical Key Lime pie. One year he asked for a very lemon layer cake and one year he even drew me a diagram of the cake he wanted.
This year, Ben made his decision early and never wavered: blueberry pie for his birthday. Farmers market-shopper that he is, he worried a bit that blueberries aren't in season right now (and I certainly never told him how much the organic Chilean berries cost me), but his love of berries outweighed thoughts of sustainability, this time.
His younger brother Eli (not a fan of fruit desserts) announced that he would rather eat graham crackers for dessert, but even he wound up eating all the crust of his slice and then giving the blueberry filling to his brother. Win-win.


The distinguished French woman Micheline Ostermeyer, who has died aged 78 after a long illness, performed the remarkable feat of combining a world-class athletics career with that of a successful concert pianist. Between 1945 and 1948, she won the top piano prize at the National Conservatoire in Paris, embarked on an exhausting series of concert tours, and - almost as an afterthought - won two gold medals and a bronze at the London Olympic Games.
She was born in Berck-sur-Mer, on the Channel coast, to a music-loving mother who insisted on her learning the piano from the age of four, and a father who was passionate about physical exercise. She was still young when the family moved to Tunis, and, though she returned to Paris when she was 13 to take her place at the conservatoire, the outbreak of the second world war forced her back to north Africa.
There, she divided her time between Radio Tunis, where, by the age of 18, she was performing a weekly half-hour piano recital, and the Oriental Tunis sports club, where she played basketball for relaxation, and, fast developing the strength and skills of an all-round athlete, became the mainstay of the track and field team.
By 1945, she was French shot-put champion, and 12 months later - the same year that she completed her interrupted piano training at the conservatoire and began a professional concert career - she won a silver medal at the European Athletics Championships in Oslo.
As the 1948 Olympic Games approached, Ostermeyer also honed her high-jumping technique to international class, and, in a moment of inspiration, realised that her tall, powerful frame - she stood 5ft 11in in height and weighed 11st 6lb - and the leg-speed that had made her into a more than competent sprinter might be ideal for throwing the discus. She practised the new discipline for barely two months, but, with the dedication and concentration she brought to her daily five hours at the piano, she improved enough to take third place in the French trials, and was selected for all three events for the London games.
During that week at Wembley, all other individual successes were overshadowed by the four gold medals won by the Dutch phenomenon Fanny Blankers-Koen, but Ostermeyer's achievement was scarcely less dramatic.
On the first day of competition, she amazed herself as much as the spectators by advancing from third place to first with her final throw to win the discus; by midweek, she had stamped her authority on her specialist event, the shot-put, to take the title by a decisive two feet; and, on the final afternoon of athletics, she played her part in an enthralling high-jump final, equalling her own French record to take the bronze medal behind the American Alice Coachman and Dorothy Tyler of Great Britain.
No French woman before Ostermeyer had won an Olympic athletics medal of any kind, and it would be another 20 years before another struck gold. France greeted her triumph with characteristic fervour, but the amateur athletics career gradually gave way to that of the professional pianist.
The marriage of the two was not always easy, and the Parisian musical establishment was initially less than enthusiastic about accepting a muscular young idol who was splashed all over the sports pages. However, Ostermeyer's response was as effective as it was courageous; she undertook a concert in which, on a single evening, she played three major piano works one after another - Brahms' D minor concerto, César Franck's Symphonic Variations and Liszt's concerto in E flat. It was as much a test of strength and stamina as it was an artistic exercise, but it was a roaring success and her reputation was assured.
Ostermeyer's athletics career ended in the early 1950s. She had held French titles in six different disciplines, including the multi-event pentathlon, which would have been another natural for her had it been included in the Olympic programme in those days. But the arrival of Soviet athletes in the field events arena had pushed her down the rankings, and back problems hastened her decision.
The piano took over, and, for the next 15 years, she toured Europe, north Africa and the Middle East, as well as undertaking engagements the length and breadth of France, until family commitments, and the early death of her husband, persuaded her to take a permanent teaching post, a job she held until the early 1980s.
She emerged from retirement in the 1990s to make a series of appearances in France and Switzerland - some solo recitals, a few orchestral and chamber concerts, and a notable series of two-piano programmes with François-René Duchable. By the end of the decade, she was alternating these performances with the endless round of gala dinners and receptions to honour France's great sporting names of the 20th century.


Abstract: Malva sylvestris is traditionally used for the treatment of liver diseases, but sufficient pharmacological-based scientific literature is not available online to authenticate its use in liver ailments. We aimed to assess the hepatoprotective effects of Malva sylvestris against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. The extract was concentrated using a rotary evaporator and then desired concentrations of extracts were made by dissolving in normal saline. The standard drug silymarin (100 mg/kg) was used as a reference drug to compare the therapeutic effects of Malva sylvestris. Two different doses of Malva sylvestris (300 and 600 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally for 7 consecutive days followed by intraperitoneal administration of paracetamol (250 mg/kg). Paracetamol significantly induced oxidative stress in the liver, ultimately leading to increased serum levels of liver enzyme markers like alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin. The extract of Malva sylvestris significantly reduced the serum levels of these elevated liver enzyme markers in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathological examination of liver tissues also showed hepatoprotective effects of Malva sylvestris in restoring normal functional ability of the liver. The results of our study strongly suggest that the extract of Malva sylvestris has strong hepatoprotective effects against paracetamol-induced liver injury, thereby scientifically affirming its traditional therapeutic role in liver injury.
